IE Users Have Lower IQ Than Users of Other Web Browsers

A recent study of intelligence links test results with the use of browsers - and the results are not very good for users of Internet Explorer from Microsoft, especially in its earlier versions.
The study, entitled "Intelligence Quotient (IQ) and use the browser" by the Canadian company AptiQuant, compiled results of IQ tests to 101,326 people over the age of 16 years and divided into groups based on the browser you use .

The results are fascinating. Users of Internet Explorer 6 has an average IQ of just over 80, users of Firefox and Chrome is much better, with average IQ scores of about 110, while users of Opera and Camino have an IQ average of over 120. It is also interesting to note that the average IQ scores of IE6 users were significantly higher in 2006, and IQ scores improve with new versions of IE.





Internet Explorer 6 has long been a thorn in the side of developers who hated him for not complying with Web standards, as users struggled with security flaws, many. This new study is likely to persuade more fun of the old (but sometimes found on older computers) and a service to its users, but you may not tell us much about the browser - it is unwilling to upgrade to a new version of software.

The study concludes that "individuals at the bottom of the IQ scale tend to resist change / update your browser. "It makes sense that users with higher IQs are more likely to experience, choose a different software version or variant (notice that IE users with a chrome frame score high on IQ tests) or listen to upgrade suggestions and safety tips.

In March, Microsoft began a campaign to get users to stop using Internet Explorer 6. But do take into account the fact that many IE6 users tend to have lower average IQ? Perhaps that is the key to finally get rid of web browser in the world's most hated.

"People at the bottom of the IQ scale tend to resist change / update your browser. ... Now we have a statistical model in the continuous use of incompatible browsers, the better you can take steps to eradicate this nuisance, "the study concludes.
